Book IV – Astrologia Munda<br />
Section III – Chapter IV<br />
the common people. Religion shall be slighted and impiety and wickedness<br />
shall increase among men, and no mercy or pity shall be found amongst them.<br />
This shall continue till either Saturn or Mars transit the cusp of the tenth house<br />
at the time of the Revolution, or shall then begin and continue at least until<br />
Mars has made on Revolution through the twelve signs of the zodiac. 1<br />
But if then Saturn is in Virgo and Mars aspects him out of Gemini, as has been<br />
said, and the Moon also translates her light to Saturn and she is in Sagittarius,<br />
there shall be misery upon misery, the mischief of mischief, the<br />
trouble of trouble, the tribulation of tribulations, the pestilence of<br />
pestilences and the misfortune of misfortunes; with all kinds of<br />
vexations, troubles and torments. Also, it signifies the destruction of kingdoms<br />
and translation of one kingdom into the power and under the subjection<br />
of another.<br />
Moreover, if the Moon when she translates 2 her light and nature to Saturn,<br />
either by conjunction, square or opposition, and the lord of the sign wherein she<br />
is when there is a partile conjunction, square or opposition between them 3 is<br />
then impedited, unfortunate, weak or afflicted, there shall be many<br />
diversities of mischief during the time of the Revolution. If then the Moon were<br />
eclipsed at the preventional, or to be eclipsed at the postventional full Moon 4<br />
immediately before or coming after any such configuration, the<br />
mischief and troubles threatened shall continue so many months as the Moon is<br />
or shall be eclipsed hours, reckoning from the minute she first begins to be<br />
eclipsed until the point she is free again. 5<br />
1 It takes Mars a little more than 2 years in his own cycle to make it through all the signs!<br />
2 Ramesey’s rather ’loose’ terminology here is somewhat confusing! If the Moon is applying to a<br />
planet, she is not ‘translating’ her light; she is committing her disposition to the planet to which she is<br />
applying. The ‘translation’ of light occurs when the Moon separates from one planet and immediately<br />
applies to another. Then the planet she commits it to must also receive it otherwise it is an affliction if<br />
the planet she is committing to is malefic!<br />
3 I.e. between the Moon and Saturn<br />
4 Again, it seems that Ramesey is confusing his terminology! The New Moon was called<br />
«conjunctional» and the Full Moon called «preventional». Here it appears he invokes two terms for<br />
the same thing, the Moon preventional and the Full Moon postventional! It is very difficult to know<br />
exactly what he means. The only time the Moon can be eclipsed is during the full Moon and not<br />
«post»! It is also very possible that Ramesey is distinguishing between a full Moon occurring pre-<br />
Ingress or post-Ingress and that is what he means by preventional and postventional! (See his further<br />
discussion for the eclipse of the Sun in which he uses the same language!)<br />
5 What Ramesey is saying is that with the preceding figure of the Moon applying to Saturn conferring<br />
her disposition, if the Moon should also be eclipsed then the significations of her application to Saturn<br />
will last as many months as the number of hours she is eclipsed!<br />
